Nationwide labor organization
A national union is a labor organization that operates across an entire country, coordinating workers in a particular trade or industry at the national level rather than locally.
National unions typically charter and oversee local chapters while handling broader collective bargaining, political advocacy, and resource distribution: The national union negotiated a contract covering all autoworkers.
